In 2018, the U.S. Department of Education approved Idaho’s Consolidated Plan, as aligned to the Every Student Succeeds Act. The Consolidated State Plan details the process the state will use to identify schools that are performing well and those that need support and improvement. The Idaho State Department of Education’s Assessment and Accountability Division facilitates the state’s accountability system, gathering and analyzing appropriate data and providing resources and guidance to schools that need support. The first identification process under the state’s current accountability system occurred in 2018. Identifications happen on a three-year cycle and data is updated annually through school, district, and state report cards available at idahoschools.org.
Accountability Oversight Committee
The Accountability Oversight Committee is an ad hoc committee of the State Board of Education. The committee is responsible for providing recommendations to the State Board of Education regarding Idaho’s accountability and assessment system, including any changes or improvements that are needed.
